Is your parenting journey turning out differently than you imagined?

  • You thought you were a great parent, but now you feel like a failure.
  • You feel shame that you don't even want to be around your child.
  • You feel like you've tried everything, but nothing moves the needle. Even the professionals don't seem to have answers.
  • You feel isolated and are losing hope.

Group coaching through Every Parent's Guide to Reclaiming Compassion will help you start showing up as the parent you want to be.

Winter Cohort starts December 8.

  • Eight live group sessions
  • Community, support, and coaching via Marco Polo group

Your Path to Overcoming Blocked Care

  • 1: Register for the Coaching Group

    Sign up and gain immediate access to a supportive group of parents who understand your struggles. You're not alone!

  • 2: Learn Practical Strategies

    The modules were written with exhausted and overwhelmed parents in mind.

  • 3: Reclaim Compassion

    Implement what you've learned and reclaim compassion for yourself and your child.

This group is for you if:

  • You want to overcome blocked care.
  • You value advice rooted in neuroscience and lived-experience.
  • You crave connection with other parents who can empathize with you but also encourage you.
  • You feel like nothing else is working, but you're not quite ready to give up.
  • You're looking for deep healing and transformation.

Hi, I’m Melissa Corkum.

As a mom to six grown children with varying degrees of neurodiversity, I know firsthand how it feels to want to give up. But I also know that overcoming blocked care is possible. I'm living proof.

I'm the co-author of Foundations for Preventing and Overcoming Blocked Care and have helped hundreds of families reclaim compassion. I'm excited to get to know your family better and watch the hope return to your home.
